The AIDE pattern for long-running, durable background tasks — a JSONL outbox on disk that survives daemon restarts, a drain worker that replays idempotently on reconnect, jittered backoff for retries, and a UI badge for queue depth. Use when implementing Claude Code's Routines / Desktop scheduled tasks / cloud-async tasks, when wiring "kick off a long task and check back later", when reviewing durability of any in-flight async work, or when the user asks "what happens if my laptop dies mid-task?
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Background Tasks — Durable Outbox, Drain Worker, Survive Crashes Born 2026-08-31 from the wiring audit. AIDE has no way to "kick off a long task and come back later". A `git commit` that takes 30 minutes, a `claude-style "review every PR over the weekend"` loop, a `download 50GB of model weights` — all of these need to survive daemon restarts, machine sleeps, and operator distraction. Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot all ship this. AIDE doesn't. This skill IS the wire-in. ## Why this matters - **Real workflows are long**: training, downloading, code review, scheduled cleanup. None of these should block the user. - **Crashes happen**: machine sleep, power loss, daemon restart. Anything in-memory is lost. Anything in the outbox survives. - **No-Brick-Wall**: the user can close the laptop, come back tomorrow, the task is still running or has a result. - **Cross-device**: paired with the Telegram bridge, the user starts a task on the desktop, gets a Telegram ping when it's done. ## The AIDE background-task contract (4 hard rules) …

How to install
mdr add anonymousnomad/aide-sovereign-workbench/aide-background-tasks@sha256:bc2f1fc8dd12bedbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260831.f6a8b8a, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
